bernd, what's the speed limiter on 5-speed dakotas? i heard from my
dealer that the limit was set according to the engine RPM. thus, the
RPM limit in 1st-4th gears was 5,500RPM, and 5th gear was 4,700 RPM.

if that's the case, then my limit is higher that 110, or whatever people
have pushed it too...

also, what is the maximum power that you would recommend for our 5-speed
transmissions before switching over to an NV3500 (or NV3550). i've got
the same AX-15 tranny you've got, and my eventual goals would include
some serious work (when i get some serious money) to the engine. if i
push 300+ horsepower, should i look at getting an NV3500 (or NV3550) or
a new rear-end?
